Panadol pain reliever at Kandy Esala Perahera

Sri Lanka's trusted pain reliever Panadol, Glaxo SmithKline’s (GSK’s ) brand of paracetamol, continued their support at the Esala Perahera, in Kandy, through their mobile First Aid service. This is the 10th time Panadol had supported this noble cause.

A mobile team sponsored by Panadol was among the devotees and provided relief when it was needed. The teams provided free basic first aid to devotees, many of whom sat in the hot sun for many hours to be a part of this sacred ritual.

Panadol has been providing free first aid at main religious and cultural events for more than hundreds of thousand Sri Lankans for over ten years. These included events such as Siripadha, the Madu Church feast, festivals at the Nallur Kovil and during Poson Poya in Anuradhapura, Thantirimale and Mihintale.

Pandol has been an integral part of the lives of Sri Lankans for over 50 years. Such initiatives are an essential part of the brand’s efforts to give back to society and provide relief to the people when they need it the most.

Panadol has gained trust over the years due to its safety profile of being gentle to the stomach. Panadol is manufactured to international manufacturing standards and is marketed in over 80 countries.
